the narrative power of clothes is truly felt only when the wearer is the protagonist. forte_forte aims at dissolving the distance between the clothes and the person, putting emotions and sensations at the center. emotional authenticity is the character that defines the project, which stemmed from the brotherly bond between giada and paolo forte.

our foundation.

“we started in 2002, giada and i, knowing an adventure was about to begin. the studio, composed of a couple of rooms in our mother’s house, faced the garden where we grew up as children. the garage became the shipping office. this vision originated from passion: at the beginning there was no industrial planning, but the desire of creating something purely personal, just like us. often the house welcomed a flow of curious friends and relatives always snooping around and willing to give a hand”.

the story began with a small collection of hand–finished t–shirts. grown in the fashion business, the forte brothers hail from veneto, one of the manufacturing districts in which made in italy has taken its shape and identity over the years, turning the artisanal process into an industrial one while keeping intact its values and peculiarities. giada and paolo have absorbed this ethos since childhood, in the family’s knitwear factories. giada trained at nottingham trent university, where she studied knitwear design, while paolo studied finance. after autonomous experiences in their respective fields, they decided to join forces on a project based on the values they believe in: the beauty of creativity as a filterless bond between the creator and the consumer. giada is in charge of design, paolo is the business strategist. robert vattilana, art director and giada’s life partner, is the third member of the group: the one who translates visions and sensations into images and spaces, or graphic and editorial choices. forte_forte is the offspring of the three’s joined efforts: the family name is doubled, christening the brand with an incitation that is already an expression of strength; the lower case font signals a desire for intimacy as opposed to ostentations.

our values.

growth, by programmatic decision, has been slow and organic. slowness is a quality that forte_forte cultivates with pride. it is the choice to operate on a personal level, far from fashion and closer to style, creating pieces with no expiry date, meant as words of a constantly evolving discourse. slow is the choice of a business model in which profit comes from quality, from products of real and palpable value and production is carefully controlled. slow is the choice to open up one step at a time, only and always at the right moment. the arrival of style capital fund in 2017 confirmed the solidity of the path offering new financial tools without distorting the identity. today the collection is distributed internationally. main markets are italy, europe, the united states and japan.

the same traits and personality define the milan and paris boutiques, opened respectively in the spring and autumn of 2018: emotional spaces full of echoes and suggestions which, just like the advertising campaigns and the communication, are conceived by robert. places that are never overbearing, that welcome and caress, dissolving the distance between the space and the person.

forte_forte maintains its headquarters in veneto: the sentimental, artisanal and industrial ties with the territory are essential, as they shape the brand’s identity. the headquarters are no longer in the family home, but in a complex of industrial buildings in which efficiency and a domestic spirit cohabit. wellness is a quality that permeates human relationships as well as space and clothes. the collection has grown over the years into a complete proposal made of beautiful materials left free to express their personality. colors are refined, pure forms welcome the body without constraints. light imperfections emphasize honesty and humanity.

forte_forte is a hub of sensations and emotions permeated by a sense of timeless classicism. it keeps evolving, staying true to the spirit of the beginnings.
